 2. TOP2 vs TOP1X :

 TOP2 boasts superior overall parameters and incorporates the escapement mechanism found in acoustic pianos, delivering a texture and experience that closely mirrors the authenticity of an acoustic piano.

What is escapement mechanism:

  • This refers to a mechanism on a piano keyboard that enables the hammerheads to swiftly disengage from the strings before the key is released. The mechanism simulates the action when a player presses a key, releases it, and the hammerhead must quickly disengage before striking the string again.
  •  This guarantees precision in uninterrupted play, ensuring that the rapid release of keys does not compromise the clarity of the subsequent note. As a result, players enjoy an enhanced sound quality experience.
